From common sense, its logical that a rooted rom will obviously work ;) So if anyone still has doubts, go through with it and have no worries ;) It will work just fine :p

[ps : This is the same method I described so dont get confused :p ]

I'm at step 12, but noob question is coming: where should I place kernel.elf in the flashable zip?

Now I have the following folders in my zip:
\META-INF
\system
...and all the files from step 8 in the system folder.

root of the folder means in zip not in any folder/directory

\META-INF\com\google\android:- replace my updater script here
\system:- super user app as i mentioned in my steps in 1st post
\kernel.elf :- kernel.elf here

    @percy Do you format system partition before flashing this time?

    When i do a "factory reset" in CWM it only wipe cache & data.

    Then I try to format system partition to avoid any problem (as you write) in CWM before flashing Kernel then Rom and i lose baseband (GSM, WIFI,...).


    That's why, accordind to my lower level of experience, i think that Justie Update Script is the best solution at the present time.

    -It wipe a lot of /system subfolder, but not all,
    -I don't lose my baseband & timescape widget works.

    Best regards.

    Uploaded the new zip with the new updater-script, i send it now to @percy_g2
    and dont forgot to press my thanks peeps, otherwise search someone else that upload it ;)
    no hard feelings just saying.

    @Pandemic

    In your guide, you said flash kernel.zip in cwm, but am I wrong to say that you can't flash kernel in cwm if you have locked bootloader?

    Also, by not formatting data and system Before flashing the jb system zip, what files are we trying to retain from ics?

    Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app

    just read what stands in that guide, you need 1st go back to ICS, root it , install cwm, and i didn`t say to format data and system, where did you get that from?

    just follow that guide by me and its coming all good ;)
    8
    update script

    Here is an updater-script made for myself for a pre-rooted jb rom. It automatically deletes old ics files during flashing and helps clean installation of jelly bean without problems with baseband and any FC.
    Put it in the \META-INF\com\google\android\ folder of the downloaded pre-rooted jb rom if you want.

    PS: Dont format System partition manually in CWM recovery.
